John Thune

“John Thune is here from the Senate. Where’s John? Where’s John?” the president stated, prompting the crowd to break out in a chorus of boos.

“No, no, John is working hard. He’s got great opposition. He’s got great opposition from the Democrats,” Trump continued. “Schumer and these guys — they’re terrible. He’s got great opposition.

“He’s the reason why we don’t have SAVE America,” she stated.
